“Jazz up your visit”

Ate there on the occasion of their Jazz night. Food was good reasonably priced and served very efficiently. The Inn was packed with people enjoying the music and we had a great evening out. The inn also has an Open Mike night which is also great

Took my family here to celebrate my birthday. The food was really good value and tasted great. Staff were very accommodating and good banter. They made us welcome and had a laugh with us also. We'll be coming back.

Have been here many times now that it's opened under new management, and it is very civilised and welcoming; dining here has been pleasant, good value and is something we will repeat many times again. Keep up the good work - it's working!

My family and I visited The Crown for lunch.
We were welcomed by a lovely lady, who was very polite and helpful.
It is a very pretty building that has been refurbished to a high standard, creating a really relaxed atmosphere.
We all ordered from the Golden Years menu (2 courses for £5.95 when buying a drink). The food was...
